java:/defaultfonts error message

#35646

We have some error logs created by PD4ML with the text

ERROR CACHED ITEM java:/defaultfonts not found / not readable

What is “/defaultfonts”?
We have placed our fonts in the classpath under “/fonts” and they are successfully read from there. Do we have to create a /defaultfonts directory?

#35647

Please ignore the message. In PDF/A-b generation scenarios (when all used fonts have to be embedded to the resulting PDF and a usage of built-in Acrobat’s Type1 fonts is not allowed), java:/defaultfonts points to a fallback font source. Usually the fonts are in pd4ml_rc.jar. If you’ve got all fonts in your /fonts folder, even PDF/A generation does not need java:/defaultfonts.

The invalid error message is to be suppressed in newer builds.
